Hi,
It's been more than 10 years since I last attempted to make a Star Wars fan film, and while I don't have the time or the budget to make a decent one right now, I did spend much of the winter making this: a Star Wars-themed visual effects test where I try out greenscreening, 3D animation, matchmoving, matte-painting, and compositing...to varying levels of success.
During the production of this, I did experiment with using Hitfilm for some of the 3D shots. I particularly wanted to do the matchmoving in Hitfilm but, apart from not having the budget, I also had lots of problems with 3D models in the Hitfilm 4 Pro demo. Any time I introduced directional lights into a scene with multiple objects, I'd get a crash...and not just a BSOD, a full-on power outage from my PC. This may or may not be a hard drive issue, but apparently it's due to a recent install. Hitfilm 4 Pro IS my most recent install, and this recurring problem (which now happens regardless of whether I'm in Hitfilm or not) only started happening after I'd installed the demo.
